A nighttime treatment for first-time users improves the appearance of visible ageing and pores.

Description

SkinCeuticals Retinol 0.3 is a nighttime serum for first-time retinol users to help build collagen, minimise pore size,  even skin tone, and reduce blemishes that are associated with problematic skin. Suitable for all skin types except sensitive, red, rosacea-prone skin.

Key ingredients include 0.3% pure Retinol which is enhanced with the latest stabilisation and delivery technologies to provide maximum efficacy. Bisabolol calms the skin and minimises irritation commonly associated with the use of retinol. Boswellia Serrata extract (derived from frankincense) provides soothing benefits and helps comfort the skin. Specialised packaging preserves optimal retinol stability. Dermatologically tested. Fragrance-free.

Dr. Webster’s Recommendation: Retinol is considered the gold-standard anti-ageing ingredient by Dermatologists worldwide. I love the minimalist formulation that focuses on delivering a pure form of retinoic acid into the skin. The inclusion of calming ingredients balances the cosmetic acceptability of the formula, without making it less effective. Studies show that Retinol not only helps to correct signs of ageing and pigmentation but it also helps congested skin and reduces blemishes associated with problematic skin. SkinCeuticals Retinol 0.3 is ideal for continued use or for conditioning skin as a prerequisite to SkinCeuticals Retinol 0.5 or 1.0. You must always apply sunscreen during the day when using this product. Cannot be used if you are pregnant or lactating.

Summary

Strength: 0.3% Pure Retinol

Size: 30ml

SPF: N/A

Fragrance-Free: Yes

Application: Face

Use: PM

How to Use
  • Apply the Retinol to your skin after cleansing in the evening. Always make sure your skin is completely dry before applying this product. Do not use during the day.
  • Always introduce Retinol to the skin slowly if you have never used it before.
  • Start off by using it once a week, then twice a week, then three times a week and build-up to every night if your skin can tolerate it. Use it according to your skin tolerance. Some people can only use it once a week.
  • Retinols can cause slight irritation and flaking of the skin but this is usually a transient or temporary side-effect until the skin is tolerant.
  • Always use a sunscreen every day but it is more important than ever when using Retinol.
  • This product cannot be used if you are pregnant, planning on becoming pregnant or lactating.

    Really like this product. I was able to go into using it on a daily basis pretty quickly, doesn’t irritate my skin or cause any dryness. I personally didn’t find that it helped with acne but it made a huge difference to my wrinkles. It’s helped to get rid of my frown lines in just 4 months. Really like this. Would definitely recommend

    Really loving this so far. I’ve seen a huge improvement with my skin’s texture. I’ve been using it only 3 times a week because I have very sensitive skin.

    I have been using skin ceuticals retinol for almost 7 months now, can definitely see a difference, there are many retinol creams on the market but I think this one is the best! Time for my next bottle, will definitely purchase another!

    I have been using this retinol for about 2 months and I am very pleased with the results. I use it every night before applying my eye cream and moisturiser. It does not dry my skin out but even though it is mild it is still effective. A little goes a long way. I would repurchase this.
